BAJA GUIDE Book
This is a guide to surf spots in Baja California that I used when I visited Mexico and was published in the Surf Trip Journal magazine on October 23rd. ↑This is the cover. ↑I was surfing in the area described on this page. Cross the border by car and drive about two hours south to the area around the city of Ensenada. "The Surfers Guide to Baja" costs US$24.95 and is available at major surf shops in California. Looking at this makes me want to go back to Mexico. There are still plenty of surf spots in Mexico I haven't been to yet, right?

a href="http://file.k241.blog.shinobi.jp/20060923070324.jpg" target="_blank"> (Posted on) September 23, 2006, 7:03 AM I returned to Japan yesterday from California and Mexico. While there, I spent every morning surfing with Lost shaper Mayhem. The photo shows a beach break called "Riviera" in San Clemente. It's a place lined with cool beachfront homes, making me dream of living in a place like this. The waves are powerful and barrel-like, making it the ideal beach break for enjoying a variety of waves year-round depending on the swell direction. The two boards in the photo are Mayhem's recent favorites: a round-nose quad and a four-fin shark. Mayhem would launch these two boards on the beach every day, testing them out and comparing them. In California, there were a lot of people riding four-fin boards, including those from other manufacturers! New arrival information. The new Lost beach towels, which are shown in the photo with Mayhem and me, have arrived at Love Surf. They are a rare item that is only available at Love Surf in Japan. The price is 6,800 yen (excluding tax). We only have 10 pieces in stock. Please come to the store early. Mail order is also available.
Learn moreI'm going to the Maldives.
(Posted on) April 17, 2006, 00:11 From tomorrow, April 17th, until April 24th, I'll be heading to the Maldives for a photo shoot for Surf First. This will be my second time in the Maldives, so I'm looking forward to it. In North Male, I'm looking forward to surfing my favorite spots, Jail and Sultan, and this time I'm planning a boat trip to the southern area. Since very few surfers go to the southern area, there isn't much information about the spots, but I'm excited because the waves look really good. When I get back, I'll be posting a detailed report of this trip on 24'S Endless Journey, so please look forward to it. The photo shows the boards for this trip that I just put into my board case. I'll introduce them in order of length. The four boards are: 4'10" Placebo SurfSkate, 5'5" Lost AVISO Round Nose Fish, 5'10" Placebo CL-Pro, and 6'3" Lost 24 Model Round pin tail. Well, off we go!

(Posted on) March 12, 2006, 6:39 PM On sale from March 10th! Have you seen the April issue of Surfing Life yet? I, Nishii, am taking part in a trip to Hainan Island, China, a popular destination right now. Last December, I went on a trip with two pro surfers of the same age, Yasu (Inaba Pro) from Chiba DEEP SURF and Naoto (Suzuki Pro) from Izu REAL SURF. The waves were amazing, and I was surprised that no one was surfing there anyway. The only surfers I met there were one Chinese person, and the two Japanese guides who showed me around. It's a shame that Chinese people don't surf when there are so many waves. Recently, he has been in even better shape and has become addicted to riding, so these are the first photos of him being shown in Japan! There is also a double page spread featuring water shots of the playboard and my photographer, CHIAR. It also includes photos of riding the ever-popular Aviso. Please take a look, or rather, everyone, please buy it! Soon, we will be posting a detailed account of our trip to Hainan Island, China, on this site's 24's Endless Johnny page, so please take a look. We'll also be sharing a little bit of the inside story of the trip!
